So excited. My family is here for thanksgiving. well, most of them I guess. My mom and step dad, sister and brother in law are here, and tomorrow my other sister and her 5 kids will get here! I can’t wait. but you wont here much from me this week!

Tuesday and Wednesday were declared Craft day by The Natural Mommy and some other bloggers. I *heart* doing crafts, so I joined when I could. Of course Tuesday also involved shopping for craft supplies and groceries, and Wednesday morning was taken up by shampooing my...

Lately I’ve been realizing how little self control I have. with everything. It’s one of the fruits of the spirit, I take that as being pretty important to have… As I was thinking about it I starting thinking about how you always hear the words “exercise self control”...

I *think* we’re making progress with Caylee’s sleep. if you’re new to my blog let me fill you in. Caylee is my high needs, 14 month old who has yet to sleep more than 4 hours at a time, and wants to nurse all night and multiple times during the day. She also always...

I realized from the lack of comments that you guys don’t like me being serious and personal. Would you rather me post pictures of the girls? ok here you are… The other night before bed Lexi and I were drawing on her chalk board, after asking me how to draw a sun and...

9.5 years ago (I am dreading having to say 10 years…) when I graduated high school I was a young, loud, hyper, outgoing girl who was pretty happy with what her life was and where it was headed. I went off to College, leaving behind my wonderful high school friends,...

I tried something new last night. it’s called sleep.  I had had enough of Caylee being in my bed and wanting to nurse every 45 minutes to an hour. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about the cosleeping IF it’s working for all individuals involved, mommy, baby and daddy. ...

I’ve been looking up car seats lately. Since we have our income tax return we thought it would be a good idea to buy a convertible car seat for when Caylee outgrows her infant car seat. I wanted a safe, comfortable car seat. As I was researching something led me to...

Literally. I spent the last hour in our closet. I have to preface this by saying we have a lot of stuff and not much storage so our closets serve as not only a place to hang clothes, but also a place to store things. I should also say the title of my blog has nothing...

This morning just Caylee and I were awake, I laid her on the floor and turned my back for 3 seconds. As I turned back around I realized I had missed it. Her first roll. Lucky for me she did it again several times today. And she let both her daddy and me see.

You know that saying “when life gives you lemons, make lemon aid”? I read an addition to that… “unless it hands you sugar too, it just stinks!” I found that amusing. Luckily life has been giving me sugar! Honestly, life hasn’t been too hard lately, we’ve had a few...

Ok, I’m going to try to get back into the habit of blogging regularly, hopefully almost daily! Life has been crazy since Christmas, it seems like either we’ve been gone or someone’s been here non stop. In fact, we just got home from an unplanned trip to Maine. It was...

and Caylee and daddy are fast asleep in the nice comfortable bed where I would love to be- due to lack of sleep last night. I thought I’d post some pictures for you all. Caylee on Christmas morning, staring at her stocking. I think she was confused. Lexi was VERY...

I’m talking about terrible twos. I tried to stay positive and call it “terrific twos” but it didn’t work. The whining, the direct disobedience, she doesn’t even when we discipline her. Nothing matters to her. I’m learning levels of patience I didn’t know existed but...

I feel like a failure of a blogger right now. The past few weeks have been crazy. We were gone for a few days around Christmas, then we had company for a few nights around New Years, they left and the next day we got more company. Two weeks later we are alone as a...

Well, 2009 is here! I’m not they type to make resolutions. In fact I normally avoid them and make fun of people who set them However for the past few months I’ve had a few things on my mind. The first thing and most important decision I’m making is to not let a day go...

Christmas is over, and the new year is just a few days away. I can’t believe how fast 2008 went. It just flew by. We had a great time this Christmas, It started Christmas eve, we woke up and it was Christmas at our house, we opened the presents then headed to visit...

Yes, that’s what we had. It was so much fun, and it was also amazing. I’ll share a ton of details and some pictures later. For now I’ll let you know two things #1- my house looks like a toy store. and #2-Lexi took her first step towards becoming a big girl. My baby is...

In case I forgot to mention… My husband is WONDERFUL. you might remember that in Juneish, I got him an xbox360. it was some fancy Elite version. better than most I guess.   Well, he loved it. But there was one problem. There were no games that I liked and so I didn’t...

My hubs is starting a business. Sort of. He plans on doing some work from home and apparently you need a business license for that. Hopefully he’ll make enough to pay the bills! So Today he’s running around town applying for state license and getting all the zoning...

Sunday was the Christmas program at church.  I love watching little kids when they are given the space to be able to show off their abilities.  It was so adorable. The 2-5 year olds were allowed to join with the older Children’s choir to sing Joy to the World at the...

Lexi did the cutest thing this morning.  She sat down and fed her baby. It was awesome to turn around and see her holding the baby to her belly.  Some people would be really offended by that, but me? it made me proud.  I even snapped a picture. If nothing else, I’m...

Well, I just  got home from a Christmas party.There was lots of food, and lots of talking! Luckily I managed to stay away from over eating, so I wont have to break out the diet pills. Just kidding, You know I don’t use diet pills. Anyway, Today was a VERY busy day. It...

Well, A month has passed since my husband was laid off. I’m realizing it’s not a rare thing, many people are out of jobs. He’s not having much luck finding a job, he’s mostly looking in the area since we just signed a new lease two months ago. With both of our parents...

I promised pictures a few posts ago and never got around to uploading them.  Now that they are uploaded, here they are. Here’s Pops and KK teaching Lexi to play the guitar. She was asking for him to play it all day the one day, then when he finally did she walked away...
